saw this over at Neowin.net, i&#39;ve not read it thoroughly, but it makes for an interesting read nonetheless. Can&#39;t verify how feasible it would be because..
1) i&#39;m not a lawyer
2) even if i was, i&#39;m too tired to be bothered.

enjoy.

Having read the report i think this is dispicable in the least&#33;&#33;&#33;This is an obvious(or not so)way of outdoing the popstars of thier money&#33;&#33;&#33;All them poor pop stars such as micheal jackson and madonna etc etc they are very frugel with their money which by the way due to klite etc they are losing out 100s maybe even upto a 1000 dollars with people who wouldnt even bother listening let alone download thier music.this is taking the food out of thier childrens mouths and not allowing them the oppotunity of a top storey penthouses to hang thier children out of&#33;&#33;&#33;this thread should be banned by the mods&#33;&#33;&#33; :D :D

Summing it up there is quite possibly a way of sharing music at a very low cost but i am sure that riaa will kick ass in court cos they are money grabbing nonces....and dont ask what a nonce is&#33;&#33;&#33;

a company buys every cd there is. you then buy a share in the company.

you now legally own a share of them cds so you can download them legally.
